The Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign’s three Emergency Centers in the
northern West Bank continually send in information regarding destruction
and devastation from the Wall. Information sent from the Emergency
Centers will be published regularly under the heading “A Day in the
Northâ€, surfacing the daily devastation which the Apartheid Wall continues
to lay upon Palestine. Read the first “A Day in the North: Ras Atiya
and Habla†at
http://stopthewall.org/latestnews/83.shtml. Also in the last week there has been much attention given to the
publicly released Israeli military map of the Wall. The Anti-Apartheid
Campaign published this map, taken from the Palestinian daily press Al Quds
newspaper, in an article that addresses it within the context of the
Occupation’s attempts at not providing information on the Wall prior to
what happens in the communities in experiencing the devastation. Read

This week the Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign featured “The Wall of the
Olives†by Ahmad Sub Laban from the Palestine Report, revealing the
denial of residents in Rafat, north Jerusalem, to harvest their
olives--their main sustenance and heritage—because of the Apartheid Wall.
Also featured is a significant article from Al Jazeera by Laila
El-Haddad which brings forth the utter destruction of Rafah in the Gaza Strip
for the “Iron Wall†at the Egyptian boarder. See the
